Pyara Pahadi Smorgasbord Restaurant - Buffet restaurant in Rishikesh - Tehri Garhwal, India

During my visit ti Rishikesh, I wanted to try the local cuisines which is also called Padahi or Gadwali cuisine. Fortunately, I found this place which serve Pahadi Thali consist of Pahadi Handi, Pahadi Dal fry, Pahadi Mandwa Roti, Pahadi Jakiya rice, Bhang Chatni and Pahadi Zhangora Kheer. I also tried Pahadi Buransh juice which is the squash of red buransh flower found in this region. The juice was nice and it's believed to have health benefits. The food was nice, and the use of local jakiya seeds has added a different flavor, which also crumbs in every bite. The staff was humble and gave information about the Pahadi preparations. I'm reducing one star as I felt the taste could be better. I'm not from this region so can't comment on its authentic taste, but I know how delicious the traditional Indian food could be. Overall It's worth trying the food of the region.

This restaurant offers great experience with the authentic Pahadi cuisine. It's a rare find, as the local dishes are not easily available elsewhere. Although they have just a few local dishes on their menu, the taste of the regional specialties was amazing, showcasing the unique flavors and ingredients of the Pahadi region. If you're looking for some local preparations, you should visit this restaurant and try their Pahadi Handi, Pahadi Dal Fry and Mandwa Roti.

Had the Pahadi thali and a mushroom fried rice. Thali was totally worth it. Tasty and filling. Portion size was good enough for a person.

Absolutely love the garhwali food here. One of the few places serving fulfilling local cuisine. Ask for ragi roti, bhaang chutney, pahadi dal, pahadi haandi. Enjoyed the hospitality as well!!

I think it is one of those hotel which connects you with ancient uttarakhand. Only in Rs199 you are getting multiple cuisine in buffet mode... Eat whatever you want.... Staff were very good and polite. I will recommend every one to visit this place once.

The best Pahadi food. Fresh and delicious. Very sweet, helpful and kind people. We not only ate but requested them if they could arrange Hot Vadapav for us, and they immediately agreed and made it for us. Uday ji thank you and we will not forget this

The food was excellent, really delicious. We ate vegi biryani and lababdar paneer with rotis. We had an early dinner so it was quiet and service was without issue. We spent five days in Rishikesh (Tapovan) and it was the tastiest meal that we ate while here.

Great Food! We had soup and dal khichdi. Soup had fine chopped veggies which made it more delicious. Dal khichdi was perfect I recommend this place.
